Be it known that I, R. M.

The combination implementembraccd in the present invention consists of a stove-cover hook or lifter, a lii'ter for kettles and other vessels of dishes having a bail-handle, a hammer, a tack-extractor or drawer, a screwdriver, a knife-sharpener, a pair of pinccrs, and a wiromutter. improved combination implement is illustrated, thefi tion of its length. I

A, in'the drawings, represents my'irnprove'd eomhinatioir'implement. This implement is formed of two levers or arms, B, pivoted together at C, so as te open from and close upon each other in a manner similar tospair oi scissors, shears, pliers, Ste. D is the handle portion to the arms 13, one of which handles at its outer end terminates in a screwdriver, 15; F F the jaws to the implement or arms B, one, F, of which jaws is longer than the other, F and has a notch, G, on its outer end, by means of which a tack or n'aii can be extracted or drawn. The other jaw, F, at its outer end, is provided with IL iIOQk, H, which constitutes the lifter for the covers to stoves, ranges, cal, and to the outside of thisjaw F is attached a hammer-head, I. The inner surface of the jaw F iscorrugated across its width, 0ne, J, of which corrngn-tiohs, in connection withthe extension-piece K to the upper or other jaw, F constitutes and forms the pincer-s, the two jaws, whcnbrought and held together, producinga lifter for kettles, and articles having hnil-handles more particularly. To each-of the handle portions of the arms B, upon their inside, is secured a sharpening pl'a'te, L, with their sharpening edges M toward each other, so that when they are brought together forming, by their sharpening edges, an angle with each other, hy then simply drawing a knife-Blade in and between the two, suchblade can be sharpened as desired.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the screw-driver E, tack-drawer G, lifter ll, hammer-head I, the corrugation lot the jaw F, engaging with the extension-piece K to form pinccrs, knife-sharpening plate L strncted as herein described.
